Why are private equity execs flocking to Question 3?
It's because they think it's a good for their bank accounts and a way to crush nascent working-class populism. I unpack it in the piece here.

This remains one of the best pieces I've read about CA's jungle primary system and how it's mission from day one was to increase the number of corporate Dems in the Legislature (not anything about "democracy") -- and how it has succeded in that goal.

Having many good candidates should be a blessing; Question 3 ("jungle primaries") would make it a curse.
But the problem isn’t just a lockout effect: it’s all the perverse, undemocratic incentives that fear of such a lockout creates — and how they all reinforce the role of $.

Who's funding Question 8, the ballot question to roll back the legalization of marijuana? An out-of-state dark money group founded by George W. Bush speechwriters, alleged to be bankrolled by the liquor industry and the pharmaceutical industry.
Vote NO on 8.

MASS VOTERS: NO ON 3
It’s raining hard here in MA, and the private equity money has been raining down hard in support of Question 3 (jungle primaries).
Remember, folks: The most dangerous words in the English language are “We’re from private equity, and we’re here to help.”
Vote NO on 3. #mapoli

Was Seth Moulton a good ideological fit for the Massachusetts Dem primary electorate? No.
Did he make a compelling case to voters beyond “I’m younger”? No.
Did he convince voters that he actually cared about trans people? No.
Was he at all likable or charismatic? Also no.
